Chapter Six
"Nobody's home!" I yell through the door, which makes the her giggle louder.
"Of course you are, silly! Or you wouldn't be telling me you're not, big brother! We are here!" I look through the peephole and all I see are her distorted pearly whites grinning back at me with my parents in the are these friends of hers?
"Fine! Only because you brought the 'rents.." I sigh and roll my eyes. As soon as the door is opened, I get slammed into by the hyperactive little pixie. For someone as little as she is, she sure can bulldoze the best of them!
"Damn it, Alice can I breathe! As great as it is to see you, aren't you early? You said next week! Hello Mom and Dad. It is good to see you." I put her down and hug my Mom and when she lets me go, I man hug my Dad.
"I lied. The girls are at the hotel and we thought that we would surprise you! Did we do a good job?" Alice bounced up and down. Lord help me!
"Good thing we were cleaning like madmen this afternoon. Emmett and Jasper are going to share a room and you and your girlfriends can have the other…" I start when I am interrupted. Rudely I might add.
"Are you boys performing anytime soon? According to the Volturi's web site, I see a listing for Masen's Rising for Saturday? Why did you not tell us! We want to see you!" I cut her off.
"You said you were coming next week. You never mentioned what day. Just next week." Alice looks at me with an evil grin.
"Oh, silly, that was days ago. And it is next week!" Sticking her tongue out at me before giving me her tinkling giggle I hate these little games of hers. Finally, Dad says something.
"Alice, that is enough. You told me that your brother knew exactly when we were coming. Does he at least know that your friends are here as well and that we are only here for a few days?" I knew I should have called them and asked them their plans.
"No, she did not. I should have called you but I thought I had another week. That is my fault. It is good to see you, even if it is only for a few days." I look at Alice and she looks innocent.
"Did she at least ask if they can stay here? " Mom smiled as she said what I was hoping against.
"Told me they were staying here is more like it," Alice glares at me as I reveal her secret. "But I don't mind, I've already made up my room for the girls to share, and us guys will bunk up in the meantime. We will handle it after you all leave. What are your plans while you are here?" I ask.
"We are here until Tuesday night. We have to be back Thursday and want Wednesday to crash. Monday, the girls have tours of some of the colleges here. They planned on staying about another full week. Two weekends worth. Alice really wants to be closer to her favorite big brother. And her friends love her and don't want to be far away from each other yet. You will like the girls! They won't give you any trouble, I promise.." Famous last words. Mom is proud of her girls. Well. All her kids. Jasper and Emmett are slowly growing on her. Especially Emmett.
"Alright. Let's get some sleep. Can we meet up for lunch tomorrow? Then you can go get ready for your show? The girls will go with us. What is the theme? Your songs or covers?" Dad asks.
"Honestly, we have not discussed that yet. I am sure we will do a mixture of both. Especially the classics from the 80s. Let me talk to Emm and Jas tomorrow about that. I am glad that you are all here! Thank you for coming!" I hug everyone and they go to their hotel.'
Jasper comes out and looks scared.
"They are coming to the show tomorrow? We need a plan!"
"I vote we do 80s stuff. Lots of good stuff there. What do you think?" Jasper nods in agreement. "We could do our stuff but I kind of get the feeling none of us are going to remember our names tomorrow. Let's get some sleep, then we can do what we need to do."
Still in shock, Jasper goes back to his room. I turn the lights off and realize, shits about to get real.
That was why Alice did not bring her girlfriends over.
I am ready.
